    Burrito and quesabirria
    Tara L.

    Cute place. Quick service. Excellent guacamole (little heat to it). Quesabirria was delicious! Want to try horchata or other specialty drink next time!

    Asada Taco

    Great local spot with street tacos. The asada tacos are my favorite. The meat is well seasoned. The shrimp tacos are okay but not as well seasoned as the streak. The food is also done pretty quickly.

    This is a small town's culinary gem. Horchata that'll bring you back to your first. Food that's authentic in a small cantina way. Staff that's comfortable together, friendly, and knows their stuff. It's also unsurpassed for people-watching from the outdoor tables, as the never-ending stream of pick-up orders provides all the local color and an impressive vote of confidence from nearby residents.

    I ordered deliver from El Limon to my hotel. I ordered four tacos and a side of guacamole. While the salsas and guacamole were superb, the tacos were a bit greasy. Some had a lot of flavor but others looked like not super fresh meat (especially the chicken and steak tacos). As a result, I would not try the tacos ago so I can avoid the grease. However I would try something else so I can try those delicious salsas again.

    Enjoyed lunch outdoors with delicious Mexican food.. Just wish that the entrees came with rice and beans.... We just ended up ordering a side of rice and beans. The red sauce is super spicy!! And the green sauce is spicy but yummmmm!!! I enjoyed the tacos dorados but the potatoes made it a little bland and it could have used a little bit more spices.

    $4 Cheese side what a joke

    $4 side of cheese sane size of chips and cheese same salsa and chips behind it. What a joke

    They screwed up my order and when I called them they asked me to bring it back. I explained I live 20 mins away. They didn't care.

    Thinking about coming in for V-Day. Is it BYO?

    What kind of cheese do they use in the quesadillas?

    Do they take discover?

    Yes

    Is El Limon a BYOB? We're going to the one in Limerick.

    Yes it is. They have free margaritas though ;)

    Late lunch on the Fourth of July. No one could bear to be outside so the patio was empty…read more Great service and we enjoyed our meal and drinks. The salsa was a spicy pico de gallo. Our drinks were strong and tasty. I love the decor and though it's pricey, Coyote Crossing does have well-prepared Mexican food.

It was very hard to leave the parking lot due to it being full and cars trying to find parking. I had to back my car up to get out. Next time, I will either park closer to the entrance/exit or park on the street. The wait was about 10 mins. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor seating due to the temperature. The food was very good, esp. the guacamole. We got the coyote guacamole and it is probably one of the best I've ever had. It's very creamy and smooth. They give you salsa and chips for the table. The salsa does have a bit of a kick. We asked for 2 refills for the salsa and chips - they charged us the 3rd one. We also got the mix tostaditas, house traditional nachos for two (added grilled chicken), salmon taco, and fajita todos. We were too full for dessert but the dessert options look good. The service was ok. We did have to flag the server a couple of times. The decor is very interesting. I would definitely come back again.

    What a fun place! It turned out way better than I expected. This is our first time here but I think…read morewe will come back to try other menu items. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. In addition to all the regular seats and a full bar area, there's an arcade in the back and an area for axe throwing! Food presentation seems to be "cleaner" than other similar places. Their menu is on the shorter side, but it covers all the staples. My only criticism is about their soda glasses--way too small, only 8 oz, and the coke tasted really flat tonight.

We ate at the bar- patacones and mole enchiladas were good. They made a solid old--fashioned after the first, less than stellar attempt (which they didn't charge for). After dinner, we went into the room next door to play some arcade games. There is also a karaoke room, axe throwing and darts. I heard they also have a rooftop. We got there early-ish and it wasn't crowded. It's a nice addition to the local scene and something families and adults can enjoy, so hoping it does well.
